Abstract: This study will provide
much needed evidence on strategies to
support U.S. students’ development of
foundational reading skills, essential to
later learning.

A third of U.S. students fail to
develop foundational reading skills by
4th grade that are necessary to succeed
academically. In addition, the
achievement gap is growing as
demonstrated by The Nation’s Report
Card. To address, the Every Student
Succeeds Act (ESSA) promotes the use
of evidence-based literacy interventions.
And, the Department of Education (ED)
has made supporting educators with the
knowledge, skills, professional
development, or materials necessary to
improve reading instruction a key
priority. The Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
similarly encourages high quality
instruction along with better
identification of students needing extra
support to prevent or mitigate student
reading issues.
This study will provide much needed
evidence by evaluating two professional
development strategies for bolstering
core reading instruction and
supplemental supports, guided by data,
within a MTSS–R framework. MTSS–R
is a widely used framework for
providing high-quality reading
instruction for all students, identifying
students needing supplemental or more
intensive supports, and providing these
additional supports for those who need
it.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Update on Reimbursement for Costs of
Remedial Action at Uranium and
Thorium Processing Sites
Office of Environmental
Management, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of the Title X claims
during fiscal year (FY) 2020.
AGENCY:
This Notice announces the
Department of Energy’s (DOE)
acceptance of claims in FY 2021 from
eligible uranium and thorium
processing site licensees for
reimbursement under Title X of the
Energy Policy Act of 1992. The FY 2021
DOE Office of Environmental
Management’s Congressional Budget
Request included $21.284 million for
the Title X Uranium and Thorium
Reimbursement Program.
SUMMARY:
E:\FR\FM\20JYN1.SGM
20JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 139 / Monday, July 20, 2020 / Notices
The closing date for the
submission of FY 2020 Title X claims is
September 12, 2020. The claims will be
processed for payment together with
any eligible unpaid approved claim
balances from prior years, based on the
availability of funds from congressional
appropriations. If the total approved
claim amounts exceed the available
funding, the approved claim amounts
will be reimbursed on a prorated basis.
All reimbursements are subject to the
availability of funds from congressional
appropriations.
ADDRESSES: Claims should be forwarded
by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, to Jalena Dayvault,
U.S. DOE Department of Energy, Office
of Legacy Management, 2597 Legacy
Way, Grand Junction, Colorado 81503.
Two copies of the claim should be
included with each submission.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julia
Donkin, Title X Program Lead at (202)
586–5000 or email: Julia.Donkin@
em.doe.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE
published a final rule under 10 CFR part
765 in the Federal Register on May 23,
1994, (59 FR 26714) to carry out the
requirements of Title X of the Energy
Policy Act of 1992 (sections 1001–1004
of Pub. L. 102–486, 42 U.S.C. 2296a et
seq.) and to establish the procedures for
eligible licensees to submit claims for
reimbursement. DOE amended the final
rule on June 3, 2003, (68 FR 32955) to
adopt several technical and
administrative amendments (e.g.,
statutory increases in the
reimbursement ceilings). Title X
requires DOE to reimburse eligible
uranium and thorium licensees for
certain costs of decontamination,
decommissioning, reclamation, and
other remedial action incurred by
licensees at active uranium and thorium
processing sites. The eligible licensees
incurred these costs to remediate
byproduct material, generated as an
incident of sales to the United States
Government of uranium or thorium that
was extracted or concentrated from ores
processed primarily for their source
material contents. To be reimbursable,
costs of remedial action must be for
work that is necessary to comply with
applicable requirements of the Uranium
Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of
1978 (42 U.S.C. 7901 et seq.) or, where
appropriate, with requirements
established by a State pursuant to a
discontinuance agreement under section
274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954
(42 U.S.C. 2021). Claims for
reimbursement must be supported by
reasonable documentation as
determined by DOE in accordance with
DATES:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:30 Jul 17, 2020
Jkt 250001
10 CFR part 765. Funds for
reimbursement will be provided from
the Uranium Enrichment
Decontamination and Decommissioning
Fund established at the Department of
Treasury pursuant to section 1801 of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C.
2297g). Payment or obligation of funds
shall be subject to the requirements of
the Anti-Deficiency Act (31 U.S.C.
1341).
Authority: Section 1001–1004 of Public
Law 102–486, 106 Stat. 2776 (42 U.S.C.
